As always, I hope you’re having a great weekend! We have had a great one so far! Friday night, I made up a Caesar salad of sorts with a dressing made using Chobani yogurt!!
I got the idea and recipe from this lovely lady (who you may recognize from the Chobani commercial :)). The original recipe was put together by Jamie Oliver and I just slightly modified it:
Ingredients:
Directions:
Whisk all ingredients together and mix into your favorite salad combination.
The taste is AWESOME! I used the dressing on a spinach salad with broccoli slaw, hearts of palm, Arnolds thins “croutons” (I sliced up an Arnolds thin and baked the pieces at 350 degrees F until toasty) and turkey cutlets rubbed with this mixture & cooked up:
Friday night, we went to the movies with Mandi & Bryan and saw Hall Pass. I thought it was cute and pretty funny….its more of a romantic comedy than the previews lead you to believe. I think the rest of the group thought it was going to be better. Saturday morning, I taught Pump and then my Mom and I went and registered for the baby.
Speaking of baby……its a…..
GIRL!!!! And the above picture is of her first official outfit that we purchased after finding out the sex (thanks to a gift card from this awesome blogger :)). I don’t want her to be a super pink baby….so I’m trying to get her a nice range of colors :). 33 of you guessed right and the winner of the Itzy’s Kitchen Baked good contest is….

Awww, a mini-me of you :) So sweet, I guessed a boy because of how the baby bump looked, but I guessed wrong.
How exciting! and how cute is that little tiny dress you got too!

CONGRATULATIONS! Can't wait to see your new baby girl, Erica.
How cute is that company name? So perfect for you!
Lately I've been really liking old fashioned girls' names like Genevieve and Rosemary.
Congrats on the baby girl!! I loved shopping for my niece. Girl shopping is just too much fun!

yogurt for caesar dressing!!!! what a great idea!
love the bump! and have fun picking out baby girl names ;)
Your baby bump just keeps getting cuter and cuter! Congrats on the baby girl news. Girl clothes are so cute, just like her first outfit.
Girl babies are seriously the theme of my life these days - and I could not be happier about that fact! We just threw a shower for my cousin in St. Louis over the weekend and both my sister-in-laws are having girls, too (one is even having twins)! CONGRATULATIONS!
I love that you are not trying to make her super pink. That dress is adorable.
Gosh, I think settling on a name would be so hard - but the process so fun! Based on your last name...I personally love the names Madison (which I know is super popular right now), Mia, Emma, Sophia...I could go on for hours. :o)
CONGRATS AGAIN! So excited for you!
Anna is 10 months already and it is going too fast! I am so happy you are having a girl!! :)
I wanted to tell you that I going to get trained to teach Body Pump in a few weeks and I can't wait! Any tips for me?
The salad looks great! I love that you used chobani yogurt in the recipe...yum!
Now onto the baby bump...adorable! You look so happy :)
A few names I really like are: Lucy, Maggie, Ruby, Beatrix (Bea for short), Adele, Adelaide and Grace. (I like old school names...can you tell?)
WAHOO! I knew it was gonna be a girl!!! If I ever had another girl I would name her Rachel. I've always loved that name, but Jason hated it! LOL SO happy to hear you're doing well. You certainly look wonderful, hun!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! yippee!! so excited for you :)
